A good chunk of the appeal is the ecosystem. Your solution works for shortsighted shareholders who don’t use the products and basically no one else.

- jrrrr 8y agoThe ecosystem integration is valuable for personal computers, but I don't think it matters so much for professional use. Think it'd ever make sense to spin _that_ off? Just the pro market? I guess then they wouldn't control the means to producing iOS apps, so probably not. Imagine a world in which ApplePro exists independently and isn't compromised by AppleConsumer's priorities. Would we have waited so long for a MBP update? Would the pro desktop ever be permitted to go years without an update? Would thin & light still be prioritized over repairability and upgradability? Would we have a touchbar?
